Gioacchino Rossini was once asked: “What do you need to be a good opera singer?”

His answer was:

“Voce, voce, voce!”

McCray Studio for vocal arts

Founded by the great American tenor James McCray, the McCray Studio for vocal arts is one of the most worldwide renowned studios for voice development.
